Sounds like you are somehow ejecting the floppy without umount'ing it first...

The autodiskmount daemon should be doing this though -- at least if you
eject'ed the disk from the File Viewer...  (I've seen this using
"/etc/disk -e /dev/rfd0a" to eject the disk before, which doesn't do a
umount first.)


See the man pages for mount(8), umount(8).   (Note section 8!!)
